path name truncated, therefore unreadable; what good?

There is not enough room on the thumbnails to see "path name".
Worse, the type is justified center, meaning it starts in the center,
and goes right and runs out of room. Worse, why doesn't the tool
tip reveal the path name? Yes, if I make the thumbnail bigger,
there is enough room, but probably not for some of the longer
ones yet to come. And what if I dont want to make them bigger?
Yes I can see path name in list view, but I'd like to see that in
thumbnails view. Advice anyone?

    In View Options you can just increase the number of lines allocated to the Path field and it will wrap to the next line. Doesn't change the thumbnail size.

    That was easy thank you.

    Now, in thumbnail view, can we one-clik
    away the thumbnail fields?
    Any hide the thumbnail fields?

    In View Options you can you can Save As... the current view. You use this to define a number of different views, including one with no fields at all if you so desire. For example, my main views are called Filename Only, All Info, Dates,...

    Then, in the Toolbar there is a View Options button which shows your predefined views in a drop-down. Click and hold, slide down the list to the appropriate saved theme, let go and you have the view you want.

    Also, you can change and save colours, fonts, thumbnail size, text centring, field name visibility, separately for each view.

    By the way, there is a limit of 10 fields displayed per view. Sometimes a bit annoying.

    hmm, now I'm noticing that in thumbnails view, the fields chosen in view options are different than list view, even tho its the same set.

    Yes, the set saves and applies the three views for "List", "Thumbnail" and "Media", but the configuration for each view is independent. That behaviour changed in an earlier version of iView Media Pro.

    Pros and cons both ways. In the old scheme you only had to set up a given view option for one view and could apply it independently to any view. But the new scheme is of benefit for things such as creating HTML Galleries, where you want maybe just the filename for the index pages, but want captions and other information on the media pages. So you can create a set to set up both views for gallery creation with one click.
